About this effect

Hue Shift rotates every pixel's hue around the color wheel while preserving saturation and brightness. A 180° shift turns red to cyan, blue to yellow — the classic 'inverted rainbow' look. Subtle shifts of 20-40° create a dreamlike color drift without breaking the image. Animate hue shift for trippy color-cycling GIFs, or pair with Wave for undulating rainbow distortions.
